Cuish Destilado de Agave “Fieles Difuntos” 2024 750ml

It is exciting to see a batch of Oaxacan mezcal distilled with added ingredients using agave varieties beyond Espadín, especially when the decision plays into and emphasizes certain notes of the spirit. This edition of Cuish’s annual offering for Dia de los Muertos, Fieles Difuntos (Faithful Departed), features an ensamble of Espadín and Jabalí from founder Felix Monterrosa’s own family palenque. The sugary heft of the angustifolia lends weight to the oily, gamey twang of the convallis, pairing elegantly with the fruits, spices, and herbal funk of the marigold-laced mezcal. Though produced in tribute to the deceased, this spirit is very much alive.
